Because cell phones are designed to be cheap, feature-filled, and easy to use. Having a fully waterproof phone would mean not including a touch screen, not including separate buttons (as in, all the buttons would have to be on one water-proof sheet), increasing the price by several hundred dollars, and removing the camera most likely along with changing the charging mechanism.

Surprisingly there aren't a lot of water proof cell phones. You would think more would be at least somewhat water proof since almost all watches are, and the fact that so many cell phones are damaged by dropping them into something wet. the best in my opinion is the Motorola i880.
